Ai Otsuka: Sakuranbo (Male Version)

[LilGunman]

This doesn't sound like a guy at all, it just sounds like a female alto singer, albeit a very skilled one.

And I am totally okay with this :)

[ZulKoji]

Haha, this sound so funny. Sounds like a feminine guy.

[briannagurl10888]

why isnt the regular version isnt on here anymore like it us to be on here but now its all erased and shit.

[deidara922]

It's sounds like Hikaru \( ^o^)/

[lolipedofin]

this sounds like Koda Kumi!

[XblinderX]

male????????? i dont think so (-.-)

[ChenMfilms]

This is a great version, not bad at all, but I'm so annoyed that I can't find the original anywhere anymore

[XordHacker]

@ChenMfilms yes, why the fuck can't I find the original

[NicoNikoND]

still mostly sounds like a girl, you can only hear the boy-ish voice sometimes.

[CrazyGal4Life]

this can b a cute AND sexy voice..... *Q*

[sesshinuygirl]

sounds really Kawaii *-*

[pivotnaza]

dude....we know you are not the one singing -_-...... but good video!!! i love it

[songz97]

its like mixed with female/male voice xD

[BunxBuns]

Oh Gawshhh... it DOES sound like hanatarou.!!! xDDD

[xXBlackSonataXx]

Seeing the picture from far away, it looked like she was eating a lollipop, then I thought the was chewing gum, then...that was just her tongue. Her tongue is SO pink :O

[sudambinhitler]

Not to hate, but it doesn't sound like a guy's voice.

[IxXOdinXxI]

@sudambinhitler Sadly, its Justin Bieber... If that answers your question..

[Bartcrap]

Sounds niiiiiice x)

[littleDMN]

Hahaha. I can imagine Yuki from "Yamada Nadeshiko Shichi Henge" (eng name: Wallflower) to sing in this way >_<

.:peace:.

[Chainsawkoneko]

@littleDMN OMG!!! . . . i <3 tht series! :D yuki is sooooooo cute! X3

[PockiiSama]

My godd. I love how he says the 'Yay!'

[N3CR1S]

@PockiiSama ... "he"?

[Jonesman03]

@N3CR1S

hahahahah xD

"he"

lmfao

[N3CR1S]

@Jonesman03 yeah, me to :) I dont know why PocliSama thought it was a guy singing.

[dainsboy33]

damn i wish my voice was like this

[kitsune0video]

shemale version then...

[keyblade3324]

Does not sound like a guy...I agree with the guy who said "middle aged woman".

[danielbudzynski]

More like middle aged woman version

[baixiaolang]

You can't really call this a male version. It's still too high of a key.

[Kugare7]

It's still too girly :))

[KasuganoAkira]

it actually sounds way cooler! mabi like nagihiko frm shugo chara would if he sung it...

[aiaihato]

CAN I MEET YOU? YO MAN

[dainsboy33]

@aiaihato its not really him lol read the discription

[m26796]

I'd love to meet a boy with this kind of voice. <3 So cute. <33 I love it!

It makes me feel all happy, and good inside. Not that the original doesn't.

It's just.. This one's a boy's voice. /(^ / / o / / ^ ;; )~ <333

[miky148]

KAITO vocaloid should sing this!

[serenity489]

It sounds like a guy, but he sounds...gay. Other than that the video's great! no offense!

[TheLemonLicker]

@serenity489 lol you can sound gay? does that mean you can sound straight? what do bisexual people sound like?! .o. what about those people that dont like ethier sex? are they mute?!!? AM I RAMBALING!??!!??! x

[ryosuke2011]

@TheLemonLicker there's such a thing as people who dont like either sex?

[grayskull56]

@ryosuke2011 people who want to be lonely

[TheBJellyroll]

@serenity489 i take offence TT_TT

[baixiaolang]

@serenity489 It doesn't sound like a gay, it sounds like an anime guy from a shoujo manga (ie, normally played by a girl).

[peach722]

It still sounds like girl XD oh well, it's still cute ^_^

[peach722]

*It still sounds like a girl

didn't notice sorry m(_ _)m

[ATIQAHdh]

CUTE!!!!!!! ~ XD

[zoukaigan]

haha xD

[shitcallgirl]

it doesn't sound really like a male's voice, but rather a little boy's voice...

[jocelynlemons]

:D cute

[arcthelove]

It still sounds like a girl though :P I think it's more the way she sings though; guys just don't really sing that way.

[stopclock]

And now we wait til Hanatorou from Bleach has his own singing solo episode

[leswitchs]

this is not boy...this is a girl ^^

[yingyang7069]

すごい！声は面白い男のですけどかわいいいいいいいいい！！ｗｗ­ｗ

＾＾

[Bladedarkwind]

lawl- should have taken the instrumental + Added the voice at a lower pitch - music sounds dampened now ;P

[xxsavagewolfxx]

i wish i had this voice XD

[WonDeringAboutYou]

XD Sounds good ~

TO HATERS: JSTFU!!! DX Dude if you dont like it dont watch it!!! Goshies D: Dont say anything if you dont have anything good to say :[ Being mean is hella not nice :P Not that im not mean but yeah..... :[

[vk45de]

More like girl --> woman rather than a male voice

[Rinsauce]

i actually think I kinda like this better XD Ostuka Ai's voice is so high and whiney. This is less invasive on the ears

[Dave86510]

If you think this sounds like a female singing, then you haven't heard enough j-pop. The male "idol" singers in Japan often have this type of voice.

[akirakun7]

You do realize that this is just Ai Otsuka (female)'s song, with the pitch lowered using a computer program?

No men sang in this song.

[Dave86510]

I do realize that. I'm replying to people who believe no real male would have this type of voice. I'm saying this type of voice is actually quite common for male idols in Japan.

[akirakun7]

Okay - that's fair. I think you should cite some examples, though, because the fact that this is not actually a man just undermines your point. Actual examples would work as a safety net.

[Dave86510]

Actually, you clearly missed the entire point of my post. I'm responding to people who don't think this is a male voice, and if this is an actual male voice then there's clearly no point at all in my post. The video itself would prove my point (that there are males that sound like this).

An example of males that sing like this would be in some of Arashi's songs, although obviously they don't sing in this pitch (and not in this type of flowery) song often.

[akirakun7]

Actually, you clearly missed the point of mine. If you say, "No, a male Japanese singer could sing like this," you better cite some examples, because otherwise your opinion is worth nothing. Unless you were treating as a completely hypothetical scenario], you have to prove you've heard men with this kind of voice. Because this vid's voice is computer generated and therefore can't stand alone, hence your own point,

[Dave86510]

Seems like you're very offended, and are argumentative rather than trying to read arguments in a charitable rather than a strawman argument manner. I'm not interested in continuing this argument any further, suffice it to say that a) you should take a deep breath and read clearly and b) it was clearly right from that start that my post was an opinion. Sound waves are objective, the qualitative "feel" is subjective. I don't know where you got the impression that I was trying to prove anything.

[akirakun7]

(cont) "if this is an actual male voice then there's clearly no point at all in my post. The video itself would prove my point"

An example like Arashi would do so, and then people could compare their music to this vid's voice, and decide for themselves.

You first said "Male 'idol' singers in Japan often have this type of voice." Without knowing who to listen to to hear it for myself, I would have no reason to believe you.

Unless you're talking just about pitch, I don't agree, anyway.

[AikoXOXChan]

Cutee ^^

[pantzpuddin]

Who is singing this part? :3

[jana0kaito]

I would like the mp3

you'll make a big favor if you can give the mp3

[funkyfreshdays7]

1:53 - 1:57 LOL LOL LOL

I love the way a guy's voice says atashi.

[OmfgItzNIIM]

Hahaha indeed, it does sound like a freaking transsexual singing...

[survivaldance]

sounds like a mtf transsexual.

[soonzhing]

...omg...if u guys knows the meaning of the lyrics..you'll notice this sounds like a gay bastrad singing right now=w=

[his2yu]

kkkkkkkkkk

[gerrrrnard]

ai is 10000 times better!

[indigoeast4444]

O.O　Thats ten times better than the original~

Hahah, it's probably what her "real" voice sounds like anyway~

[indigoeast4444]

Ｈａｈａ，　Ｉ　ｈａｄ　ｔｏ，　Ｉ　ｊｕｓｔ　ｈａｄ　ｔｏ　ｐｏｓｔ　ａ　ｒｅｓｐｏｎｓｅ～

[fiddeandevil]

@ForgiveMyMadness

...It's weird... but yeah. I can totally hear it. XD

[Asa922]

[aluketins]

i like this male voice so much, like Azulichigo said, this is more relaxing to ears !

[blackwingz55]

wtf....doesnt sound like a male sounds more like an female voice!!!!

[sheunghyun]

wtf.. this is using voice controller to lower the sound & pitch...

[hakureireimu6]

male or female they still sound awesome to me <3

[someordinaryguy]

if this sounds like a guy...

... he's definately gay x3

[TheLucidus]

wow..nice..^^

[mayelaine2]

Nice O.O

[happylaughter1990]

[kingsean96]

What the hell kind of male is this?

[azulichigo]

The voice is more relaxing to the ears, but it sounds like a female voice to me.

[CaramellOtter]

o.o It sounds like a guy. It really does.

8D Why don't the guys in real life sound like this?

[theorgymeeting]

im a guy and i want to sound this cool!

[Chilove]

SO CUTE! XD

[SukoshiOtakuSan]

still its woman voice.

[YAYNESSmonster]

I like this version better than the regular.

XD

[DorkyPPoi]

because ai has such a high pitched voice.. this just sounds like a normal girl x'D

[henrietta228]

ohmygod, I want a guy with this voice!! xD

[0XHimeka]

@henrietta228 same, its sounds like my dream guys voice~!

[leometard9753]

@henrietta228

OMGOMGOMG..... me toooooo!!!

[nyappyaleysha]

Still sounds like a girl to me

[yun4iren3]

si, soy española pero llevo mucho tiempo estudiando japones y mi familia tiene mucha relacion con 3 chicas japonesas que cuando vienen a españa vienen a mi casa y hablamos mucho entre nosotras en japones y a la vez yo les enseño español ^^

[nyappyaleysha]

Wooow Tu eres bien lucky! No se nada de japones pero quiero aprender, pero no tengo nadie que me ayude :/ Are you fluent in Japanese? sorry my spanish sucks! :p

[WingViool]

Or a guy with a female voice XD

[yun4iren3]

a guy can say "Atashi" but were better say "ore"

"atashi" is for girls

kiss!!

______

un chico puede decir "atashi" pero seria mejor decir "ore"

"atashi" es para chicas

besos!!

[nyappyaleysha]

Sabes Japones?

[megamanxu]

sounds like karaoke lol xD even tho its not (yes i actually read the discription)

[clickhereforkieran]

so what if he says atashi! its just the song to a slower speed!

[ko1111122222]

a guy that says "あたし" is sooooooooooo gay.

[NinjaBawls]

no he just sounds gay.

[Winsane]

actually everything about this song is supposed to be from a female perspective and he never changed the lyrics to fit a male. which in itself is pretty gay. Also yes あたし is really gay for a male to say. most males wont even say 私 except in a few formal situations.

[RustyStarM34]

this actually sounds like certain japanese boys in there teens to be honest not meny japanese girls have strong voices

[mouse360]

sounds like a really hot guy :P

[flipthecat]

wow she sounds hot as a guy

[LavinaAnima]

Me likey, Ai would be hot as a guy! xD

[thibaultdu66]

Realtek ?

[nyaaaX81]

Ai souunds sexy as a guy XD

[duktalos]

sound more like a "mature" woman this way

[Evelyn0003]

Yes you're right, still sounds like a woman, but with lower voice.. and older :P

[inuki69]

sounds like my mom singing -__-"

[Cherrypie2424]

it can be a boy who has a girl voice...

[FIyingDumpling]

it sounds like a deeper girl version of the song....

[theflyingebit161]

not a guy =O

[xDeathSentencex]

I'll sing it. Then it'll actually be a guy, right (YES, I'm a guy)? I'm probably not going to be to good at it though.

[PockyFTW]

LOL AGREED WITH COMMENT BELOW ME! O:

[xDeathSentencex]

Agreed by me, too.

[RamenNoodlesFan]

ai still sounds cute when lower pitch!

[minnie750]

When they say "male version", they don't mean that a guy sings it. They just made a lower pitch version that guys can sing along to. These versions are usually used in karaoke in japan.

[DjAttila101]

Its goddamned pitched. Cant hear that?

[maxtarchris]

who's the singer?

sounds nice

[HelenaCaulfield]

This makes me think about OHHC, not that I watch it.. But it sounds kinda suitable,, like it man!

[bunnychan10]
